Library Book Sale Haul 2017 Part #5: Young Adult Books and Miscellaneous

This year at the library book sale, I didn’t pick up as many young adult books as usual. I think the selection was limited than years in the past or the books on the table were ones that I already had in my library. However, I did find some great resources that I could use in my future classroom. I also branched out and picked up a few graphic novels and poem anthologies! Here’s what I found:

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle

My sister already owns a paperback copy of this book, but I couldn’t care up a copy of this hardcover book in perfect condition! I remember only thinking this book was okay a few years ago, but I want to read it again to see if my opinion has changed.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Student Companion by David E.E. Sloane

Even though this isn’t a book that I would read in my classroom, I couldn’t pass up finding a copy of the book and a student companion on $5 bag day. I’ll pass these two books off to my sister who plans on teaching middle or high school English.

Tangerine by Edward Bloor

Anpao: An American Indian Odyssey by Jamake Highwater

Keeping the Castle by Patrice Kindl

Gabby and Gator by James Burks

I had never heard of the four books above, but they all looked pretty interesting. Since it was $5 bag day when I found these books, I couldn’t help but throw them in my bag!

A Children’s Anthology of Poetry edited by Elizabeth Hauge Sword

I was really happy to find this book because it contains a lot of classic children’s poems which will be perfect for my future elementary classroom.

Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life by Bryan Lee O’Malley

More Poems to Go by Highlights magazine

I was so happy to find this cute little poem book! I think this smaller poem book will be more interesting and less intimidating to younger readers. I will be a great resource for my classroom.

Map Skills by Jan Kennedy

Daily Warm-Ups Grade 3 by Shelle Russell

Scholastic Science Dictionary by Melvin Berger

The Usborune Big Book of Experiments edited by Alastair Smith

The Kingfisher First Picture Atlas by Deborah Chancellor

I was really happy to pick up the science dictionary, book of experiments, and picture atlas on $5 bag day. These are books that I wouldn’t normally purchase on my own, but could be really helpful for when I have my own classroom. The library book sale is the perfect place to stock up on resources that I wouldn’t be my first choice to buy!

The First Ladies by published by Greenwich House

When I saw this book on $5 book day, I knew I wanted it. I thought it would be a great non-fiction addition to my classroom library! This book is HUGE, but I made sure to get in my bag. While this book is unfortunately older and only goes up to Barbara Bush, I still think it’s a great start to adding more non-fiction books about women in my classroom.

Stay tuned for next week when I discuss the books apart of series that I found at the library book sale. What book deals have you scored recently?
